Transplanted Hearts

As organ procurement organizations nationwide see an increased opportunity to retransplant already transplanted hearts, we would like to share the overview and process of our 2 successful cases. Heart retransplantation increased our cardiac placement rates by 2.64% and 2% in 2015 and 2019, respectively. Spread across a nation that sees over 3500 heart placements annually, a 2% increase would be substantial. Since 2009, our cases stand as the only documented heart retransplantations in the United States. However, United Network for Organ Sharing data shows that potential exists. From a facilitation perspective, we have developed a protocol to ease the matching process. From a surgical perspective, these cases had no complications and saved 2 lives, with each heart now beating in a third person. We hope that by sharing our process and success, we can familiarize fellow organ procurement organizations and transplant communities with this viable opportunity.

ObjectiveTo explore how people with dementia, their informal caregivers and their professionals participate in decision making about daycare and to develop a typology of participation trajectories.DesignA qualitative study with a prospective, multiperspective design, based on 244 semistructured interviews, conducted during three interview rounds over the course of a year. Analysis was by means of content analysis and typology construction.SettingCommunity settings and nursing homes in the Netherlands.Participants19 people with dementia, 36 of their informal caregivers and 38 of their professionals (including nurses, daycare employees and case managers).ResultsThe participants’ responses related to three critical points in the decision-making trajectory about daycare: (1) the initial positive or negative expectations of daycare; (2) negotiation about trying out daycare by promoting, resisting or attuning to others; and (3) trying daycare, which resulted in positive or negative reactions from people with dementia and led to a decision. The ways in which care networks proceeded through these three critical points resulted in a typology of participation trajectories, including (1) working together positively toward daycare, (2) bringing conflicting perspectives together toward trying daycare and (3) not reaching commitment to try daycare.ConclusionShared decision making with people with dementia is possible and requires and adapted process of decision making. Our results show that initial preferences based on information alone may change when people with dementia experience daycare. It is important to have a try-out period so that people with dementia can experience daycare without having to decide whether to continue it. Whereas shared decision making in general aims at moving from initial preferences to informed preferences, professionals should focus more on moving from initial preferences to experienced preferences for people with dementia. Professionals can play a crucial role in facilitating the possibilities for a try-out period.

We state necessary and sufficient conditions on a set of probability measures to be the set of martingale measures for a vector valued, bounded and adapted process. In the absence of the maximality condition, we prove the existence of the smallest set of martingale measures. We apply such results to the finite sample space case.

High Energy Consumption

Eco-efficiency of manufacturing processes is increasingly important. Here grinding is supposed to be unfavorable because of the need for coolant and a high energy consumption per removed material volume. Nevertheless, it can be not be substituted by an alternative process due to the superior quality of ground parts. The overall eco-efficiency of grinding can be improved by different approaches. A better understanding of grinding processes and a modified setup of the process chain minimizes the material to be removed by grinding. Design changes of the machine tool can significantly reduce the energy consumption of additional devices as coolant supply units without a loss of flexibility. Adapted process parameters increase eco-efficiency and can also improve cost effectiveness while maintaining part quality.

Residual stresses play a key role in thermo-mechanically coupled forming processes for industrial mass production. They are an unavoidable consequence of the alternating inhomogeneous fields of temperature and mechanical stress developing in tools and components dependent on the process parameters applied. Because of their influence on the behavior of the components produced, a great interest exists to get reliable information about origin and distribution of the relevant residual stress fields and to understand the basic principles of their formation. In this paper the development of residual stress in tools (steel AISI H11) used for the thermo-mechanical forming operation of cylindrical flange shafts (steel SAE 6150) is outlined. The loading situation of the tool is simulated by thermal fatigue tests, providing information about cyclic stress and plastic deformation during the manufacturing process. Furthermore the residual stress states of the flange shafts manufactured are presented and discussed. Chip forming manufacturing operations are challenging tasks and tensile residual stresses can be avoided using adapted process parameters.

Profile Accuracy

The paper considers the peculiarities of combined processing of parts, made from extruded metal blanks with anisotropic electrotechnical properties. It involves the application of an electric field and seeks to achieve the required profile accuracy in any processing direction with precision within the specified tolerance for finishing operations. The study describes the specific nature of the development of current leads and the ways of achieving the required accuracy when combining electro-erosion and electrochemical components of the process in real time, taking account of the position of the pressing force vector relative to the direction of current flow in the zone of combined processing. This gives the opportunity to ensure the process stability and accuracy of processing advanced materials with a wide range of current conductivity variation in components, used when extruding blanks for precision parts. The study employs the methodology of calculating and assigning technological modes of combined processing, formed on the basis of the energetic approach and using the principle of similarity in technological systems. It also involves the adapted process management which allowed for elimination of unstable impacts affecting the accuracy of shape formation and surface layer quality, and expands the area of using combined processing for manufacturing extruded parts with anisotropic properties of components. The article presents the feasibility study of the ways of extending the work results to various types of products, particularly, to processing of welded and soldered joints of metallic materials and coated details where the replacement of traditional processing methods with combined ones significantly increases the opportunities for obtaining high-precision parts with required performance characteristics.

Multidimensional Process

A universal challenge in the field of teacher education is generating a shared vision of the key knowledge and skills needed for the teaching profession. Prior research has pinpointed a range of critical qualities necessary for teaching and other facets of a teacher’s work. However, a research-based conceptual model relevant to understanding the key competencies of the teaching profession has not yet been presented. To address this need, this paper presents a multidimensional process model of key knowledge and skills for teaching. It is adapted from the competence model of Blömeke et al. (2015), and it specifies the core professional practices, situation-specific skills, and cognitive and non-cognitive competencies that constitute high-quality teaching. The adapted model has been developed in the context of Finnish university-based teacher education and in comprehensive national cooperation among all teacher education units.
